The Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (CHHP) program focuses on client interactions and practical knowledge so you can effectively lead others on their road to better health. This curriculum covers, in-depth, the essential techniques that natural health practitioners use to support their clients.

Emphasis is placed on understanding the many health challenges that commonly drive clients to seek natural healthcare and the most effective recommendations to support the whole person.

The Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (CHHP) program builds upon the foundations taught in the Certified Natural Health Professional (CNHP) program. Enrollment in this program requires completion of the CNHP program. Those with healthcare experience may be eligible to test into the CHHP program, with the successful completion of a placement exam.

In a proactive step for our students, our ND program was updated, expanded, and renamed the Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (CHHP) program in 2017. This program is eligible for Board Certification through the American Natural Wellness Practitioners Board (ANWPB). Upon passing the ANWPB certification exam, a graduate may choose a title that matches their practice philosophy and state laws from several options offered, including Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy.
